Two Down, Two to Go

We football fans are very spoiled. We were lucky enough to get the chance to see two very good games  last night. The Ravens and Broncos game from yesterday is an instant classic. That game went into Double-OT. The Ravens clinched their spot in the AFC Championship game with some late-game heroics. In the NFC, Colin Kaepernick played very well for the 49ers. After an early interception returned for a TD, Kaepernick was almost unstoppable. Hopefully, today will be just as exciting as Saturday was.

Seattle Seahawks [+3] vs Atlanta Falcons [-3]

Seattle comes into this game as the hottest team in the NFL. However, I still have some worries about them on the road. This is the biggest game of Matt Ryan's career. The Atlanta QB is 0-3 when it comes Playoff time. All 3 of the teams the Falcons have lost to in the Postseason have gone on to play in the Super Bowl. I have been tossing and turning over this game all week, but I have to go with Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. 

Houston Texans [+9.5] vs New England Patriots [-9.5] 

Everyone know what happened to the Texans just about a month ago when they played this Patriots team. Houston came in talking about how that game was the biggest game in the franchise history. In the end, the Patriots whopped them 42-14. This Texans team is trying to forget that game. The key matchup will be between the Texans secondary and the Pats WR. This game will be much closer than last time, and I expect the Texans to cover the spread. However, I think that Tom Brady and New England will come out on top.
